What is Tesla's upcoming 'under your nose' announcement?

[AMPd]

Any word on the Supercharger announcement yet?

Not yet, should be any week now

 

[hans]

Is that "word" in the affirmative or negative sense?

Got my P85 in January. Lots of interesting stories on both the delivery (car showed up a week early when I was at CES), registration and due bill items. But that's for a different post.

Also need to thank you all of the very useful info that I've got from here.

Anyhow - onto the Superchargers. Was in the Delaware rest stop - plugged in my Tesla and was amazed to see that I was pulling 255a from a 378v supply. First time I've seen this. My car added about 145miles range in about 20 mins (time it took to get a Starbucks from a very crowded rest area). First time I saw this. Is this new - or is this what Superchargers always did

I charged there Sunday (yesterday) and only put 40 miles in 14 minutes. 172/255A at 379V

See this post for a graph of SC stats (it's not linear): Typical Supercharging rate? - Page 6

I wonder if the Adaptive Cruise Control is the feature that's right under our noses?

 

[Mayhemm]

So, if it's announced that not only will the number of chargers be increasing but the rate of charge as well, would these enhanced units still be Superchargers? Or would something like Ultrachargers or Uberchargers be more appropriate? :wink:

The hardware is not there.

The hardware is not there.

Probably... but can we be certain of that?

Perhaps the third major announcement is NEW FOG LIGHTS!?? LMAO yea I went there.

With as many folks that have taken apart their bumpers and such, I think someone would have noticed something by now.

Under your 'nose' or 'nosecone'?

 

[yobigd20]

Under your 'nose' or 'nosecone'?

there are boogers under my nose so I'm not really sure what Elon's talking about unless maybe the Model S has an integrated battery powered booger sucker

I wish... :/

Elon's tweeted that the announcement is coming tomorrow and will make existing Tesla owners happy...

But that one is said to be service-related. The "under your nose" announcement should be two after that.

Here's the thread about the tweet:
Tesla's new Strategy?!?!?!
